Hotels in Cape Town

I don't know where to begin. I can say Cape Town has something for everyone for all ages out there. If you like history, Cape Town has it. If you like culture, Cape Town is filled with it. IF you're into partying hard, Cape Town's got that too. If you like to just sit out with a chilled beer, relax and watch the sun go down, cape town has that as well. Basically, its a complete package for anyone out there who's interested in traveling and exploring. We were in Cape Town, collectively for 7 nights. We stayed for 5 in the beginning of our 17 day trip, then headed to the Garden Route - Self Driven and Returned for our last 2 nights stay in Cape Town before we departed. We did a lot and saw a lot in Cape Town but we also missed out on quite a bit. We definitely wish to return, soon! WE saw the Kirstenbosch botanical Gardens, Greenmarket square, Hout Bay Market, Long, street, Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Table Mountain, Cape Point, Boulders Beach, Camps Bay beach and hiked the Lion's Head as well. We missed the Seal Snorkeling and a visit to Muizenberg. I wish we had a couple of days, we could have covered that too. We used UBER to get around the city, its cost effective and extremely convenient and quick too. saves you the hassle of finding parking, paying parking fee etc. Cape Town has some amazing restaurants and food. Me and my husband are total steak lovers. Our favourite spots were Hussar Grill and Belthazar. Just fyi - Lion's head hike isn't easy. for people who are not into any sort of fitness activity and/or are afraid of heights, word of Caution. I don't think I will avoid anything on my next visit. I would probably not hike the Lions head again(I am terrified of heights) but apart from that I would only add more stuff to do, not delete. Amazing place, Amazing people. Must do! This should be on everyone's bucket its. Stunning Landscapes! Indeed Mother City!

Must visit the vineyards, namely Frenchhoek, Constantia and Stellenbosch. Careful, they often close at 16:00. In September must visit Hermanus for the whale-watching and breakfast at Burgundy. Food? Must go for people not looking for the "chicky-micky" but kind of the real experience: Panama Jacks and try to get the Abalone! The best seafood I have ever had in life - not cheap though but they cook it to perfection. Visit the old Bisquit mill with open food stands on weekend. A fabulous bar is the "Cape to Cuba" for the rather cool guys in this world. You will regret for sure... :) Best steak in town and close to the premises is the Hussar grill and for seafood I would recommend the Codfather near-by. Booking ahead of time: A must of course is the table mountain but go very early otherwise you queue for hours and back too. Visit also the Robbin island; exceeded expectations with ex-prisoners explaining the story of RSA. Climb the Lyon's head; an experience but you need some kind of fitness and must not get dizzy. The view is a blast. Enjoy! :) Oh yes! The botanical garden! Take your pick-nick, go high up and simply look at the stunning view in peace. One of the best in the world!

yeses -wine tasting - go to constantia, we went there....or stellenbosch or franschhoek great landscape -helicopter ride is a must at v&A -shop and eat at v&a -table mountain (was crowded on the the dec end with crowds. took us time to catch the cableway and huge queue) --thought was overhyped.... -missed shark feeding at aquarium at v&a -drive to cape of good hope -didnt find many penguins at simon's town boulders beach--overhyped---check in advance if penguins are around--so a bit of let down--again a long queue to buy ticket to a v v small beach...hyped -warrior toy museum....quaint little place...one room wonder...many toy cars arranged neatly, dolls with rich history(first barbie), a working small toy train----not exciting enough but you may visit as its right close to boulders beach.- no noes -deep sea fishing - we went for deep sea fishing, worst nightmare as all of us got sea sick despite taking medicine that morning. Really not worth the risk. Paid double for the boat to get us back. (ASK--does the boat have proper seating with straps, space for kids to unwind a bit, toilet?(as any ride is more than 5hrs)-worst outing for us, plus a wasted half day.

Get on the cable car up to Table Mountain at the first available opportunity! We left it to the latter part of our stay and the high winds closed the Cableway for 5 days (can be 60/90 days a year) - so we missed out & passed the "Cableway OPEN" sign with our bags packed in our hire car back to the airport! The V&A Waterfront has something for everyone young/old families/couples alike Sunset @ Camps Bay is great - but again make sure you reserve a table! For pure indulgence, get dressed up and have afternoon tea @ The Mount Nelson Hotel. For pure emotion, don't forget to go to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. . **The biggest tip I can give is book restaurants in advance - either before you arrive if you have recommendations or look at where you want to eat and book it for 3/4 days later when you there. If you are booking whilst you are at a restaurant be very specific about where you want to sit (you won't be thought fussy, as the locals are quite demanding in their home town), especially if you want "that spot" with Table Mountain in the background.

The transportation is easily accessable. The weather was good. So many places to see and enjoy. Table Mountain is a must for all travellers, as well as outings to Kalk Bay, Simons Town. Watch the sunset at Signals Hill. Enjoy surfers corner at Muizenberg beach, and relaxed moments on Camps Bay Beaches. Cape Town has the atmosphere of calmness and laid back attitude. Gardens at Kirstenbosch, the markets in central city area. Shopping delight at the Waterfront. Constancia Wine Farms. Awesome education on the process of Wine Making, and tasting. Mountain trails from all areas. The bustling business of the Oriental Plaza, good food. Strawberry picking in season in Stellenbosch, as well as the lively Strawberry season market. Stellenbosch has so many restuarants to eat at. Trips to other areas of the Cape like Wellington, which has the biggest Whiskey Distiller. The view from Chapmans Peak is absolutely breath taking.

We were in Cape Town for 3 days and the highlight would surely be the long and lazy lunches obviously with wine at waterfront, Old Biscuit Mill and Camps Bay. Now, must dos – Sunset from the Table Mountain, a vantage point that sits above the cloud, grab a drink and watch the sun melt. The cable car ride is also fun but can be painful if you don’t get your tickets booked online. Old Biscuit Mill, former biscuit factory collectables selling boutique shops and fine restaurants, Test Kitchen (Reservation Must), Burrata, Pot Luck Club among others. Do visit wine at the mill, it has a brilliant collection of wine Camps Bay – sun, sand and sea food... Winding scenic road would take you to Camps Bay from Cape Town. The setting is quite dramatic with white sand beach on one side and pre-historic mountain range on the other. You can hire a beach chair, umbrella for R 60 each for the whole day. All tanned and hungry choose from many restaurants overseeing the beach.
